Beach rock all wired up for wearing

Technique Tuesday!
Back in the beginning of September, Mike and I went away for a long weekend with our friends Beth and Dan. Both couples were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversaries, so we thought it might be a hoot to take a joint vacation. The only thing was, Beth and Dan’s daughter was getting married the very next weekend! So to assuage our guilt over not being around to help that weekend, we found a pretty rock on the beach (in Maine), and I wire wrapped it for Beth to wear to the wedding!
See, we were working on the details after all!
I used a variation on this wonderful technique called the Hippy Twist. I didn’t twist quite as often as the tutorial shows, and I put more kinks and bends in my wires. Beth was happy with it and that’s all that matters 
Hey, that type of wrapping looks familiar!
Not even *close* to as smooth and professional as the wrapping you do, Paul
It’s only my square wire work that is really smooth. The round wire pieces tend to be pretty random with a very large degree of “Oops!” *unbend*
Well that makes me feel a *lot* better! I didn’t know that
That looks great! I love the purple against the green. I like the kinks, as they echo the shapes of the rock.
Thanks! The Mother of the Bride was happy with it, and that’s what really mattered at that time
